Mamman的案件再次引发人们对公职人员在任期间的行为如何加剧尼日利亚长期电力危机的高度关注。\n\n当经济和金融犯罪委员会(EFCC)于5月宣布重新抓获潜逃的前电力部长Saleh Mamman时,经过数日搜捕将其抓获的消息本身,甚至不如随通报一同发布的照片引人注目。\n\n照片中,这位前部长神情黯然,戴着手铐,枯瘦的双双手紧紧夹着嫌犯档案板。这是一个罕见的画面,勾勒出他走向牢狱的轨迹。\n\n5月7日,阿布贾联邦高等法院裁定前电力部长Saleh Mamman洗钱罪名成立,涉案金额高达338亿奈拉,这些资金原本用于尼日利亚的电力项目。\n\n12天后的5月19日,法院就EFCC对他提出的12项指控逐一判处其监禁。\n\n其中10项罪名分别被判处7年监禁,1项罪名判处2年,另1项罪名判处3年。法院下令这12项罪名的刑期连续执行,这位68岁的老人总共被判处75年监禁。\n\n他的案件再次引发人们关注腐败是如何破坏历届政府的电力改革承诺,并加剧尼日利亚长期电力危机的。尽管多年来对电力行业进行了巨额公共支出,尼日利亚人仍饱受严重电力短缺之苦。

原文原文 / Original TextMr Mamman's case has brought renewed attention to how public officers' conduct in office has deepened Nigeria's long-running power crisis.
When the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) announced the re-arrest of the fleeing former Minister of Power Saleh Mamman in May, the news of capturing him after days of searching became less interesting than his picture accompanying the update.
Looking sad, the former minister was pictured in handcuffs while his withered hands clamped a booking board. It was a rare sight that sketched his journey to jail.

On 7 May, the Federal High Court in Abuja convicted former Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman, of money laundering involving a whopping N33.8 billion meant for Nigeria's electricity projects.
Twelve days later, on 19 May, the court sentenced him to prison on each of the 12 charges brought against him by the EFCC.
He received seven years' imprisonment for each of 10 counts, two years for one count and three years for another count. The sentences for all 12 counts, which the court ordered to run consecutively, summed up to 75 years in jail for the 68-year-old man.
His case has brought renewed attention to how corruption has derailed electricity reform promises under successive administrations, deepening Nigeria's long-running power crisis. Nigerians continue to suffer acute power shortages despite huge public spending on the power sector over the years.
